White and Pink - In honour of Mother's day. Thatcorporatechic - workwear, how to wear.

In the UK, currently, most people shop for their mums, mothers-in-law, wives and sisters who are mums. From experience, I know that it’s not a pleasant time for some people who have lost their mums. 

It’s easy for a person to get back in the mourning stage of grief because of the buzz and displays around. It’s okay to feel that way; I feel that way too. And, sometimes I get jealous of people who have mums. But, I have learnt to reminisce with a bowl of ice cream.

The forthcoming Mother’s Day would be the fifth one without having my mum around. I miss her so much and sometimes I wish heaven had visiting days.

Anyway, I thought to share Five ways I survived my 5th Mother’s Day without my mum. I hope that it would help someone who’s dreading Mother’s Day by giving some comfort.

Tip 1: Celebrate a mother figure in your life: 

No one can ever replace your mum, but if you have a mother figure, you can celebrate her as you would have done to your mum. It helps to ease the feeling of emptiness that you might be experiencing. Get her a gift, go for lunch with her, or get her flowers, just make her feel special.

Tip 2: Celebrate and honour the memories you have of your mum:

I honestly don’t know how long you have walked the journey of not having a mum and I am not stating that celebrating and honouring your mum would be easy. So, if you don’t feel up to it yet, it’s okay. Take your time.

Some of my best memories of my mum are: her pride and joy the day I graduated from university; the way she said goodbye at the airport, She was always beaming with love over me; the times we danced together and when she slept in my bed.

Tip 3: Gratitude:

The journey towards becoming whole starts with showing gratitude to the people who held your hands when you were mourning the loss of your mum. Sending a “Thank You” message to someone who has been there for you can be comforting. It helps you remember that you’re not alone.

Tip 4: Self-care and Love:

One of the many things, my mum instilled in me was the practise of self-care and self-love. I didn’t know the worth until I lost her; I’ve been devoted to practising it since she passed on.

Take time out to pamper yourself. Do something that would make you feel good, or something that you’ll be eager to tell your mum if she were alive.

Tip 5: Don’t rush the healing:

Everyone has their own way of grieving, so take your time to heal, no matter how long it takes. Find support, speak to a counsellor and remember to breathe.

And, if you are emotional on Sunday, it’s okay to cry. It’s also okay to decline an invitation to celebrating Mother’s Day.

Sending Love to you on Mother’s Day and I hope these tips will put a smile on your face.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Feel free to message me, if you need to chat with someone. I come bearing hugs with a bowl of ice-cream.

    To all who have lost a Mom, I pray that everyday you’ll feel the love of God. That you will see rays of hope on a gloomy day and that you’ll find reasons to smile.

Postcard from Highclere Castle for my Downton Abbe Postcard from Highclere Castle for my Downton Abbey Fan.

A few weeks ago,  I booked a day off work to visit @highclere_castle, the antidote I needed to de-stress after a busy couple of months.
Since it’s a most sought-after place, tickets sell out fast, so you must book them in advance.

As a huge fan of Downton Abbey, I found myself remembering scenes from the movie- love a moment of Romanticising life 🤭I mean if you don’t who’s going to do it for you.

Where to buy your tickets for Highclere Castle? I purchased my ticket directly from the website 

What to wear? Comfy Shoes if you intend to explore the estate.

Can you take pictures inside the castle? Photos are only allowed outside and not inside, as the family has their photographs around the house.

This is such a great location for a family day out; love it 😍 

Are you a Downton Abbey fan? Have you been to Highclere Castle for a tour around the estate?

Office Style On the Go 💃🍀 Someone recently a Office Style On the Go 💃🍀
Someone recently asked about my take on wearing colours to the office.
My response was, You can look classy in anything as long as you feel good in it… You also have the power to define your style around your current lifestyle.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Here’s this week’s Monday reminder:

You’ve got to know how dope you are without a validation, congratulations, or a celebration.

The next time imposter syndrome makes you question your being at a place/position, remember, ‘You earned the right to be here’.

I hope this reminder resonates with you, let me which one does? 💚
